Uma Tibet – Videoarchive of lectures by Jeffrey Hopkins
Uma Tibet – Videoarchive of lectures by Jeffrey Hopkins

The UMA Institute for Tibetan Studies is a non-profit organization dedicated to translating texts into English and Chinese from the shared heritage of Tibetan and Inner Asian Buddhist systems. All UMA's publications present English and Tibetan together for comparison. We distribute our translations free of charge across the internet.

UMA stands for "Union of the Modern and the Ancient" and also means "Middle Way" in Tibetan. Founded by Jeffrey Hopkins, renowned scholar and human-rights activist, the UMA Institute is unique in that most of our translators have worked together for decades. More importantly, all share a consistent vocabulary and produce translations in a uniform style.

The UMA Institute for Tibetan Studies was founded in Charlottesville, Virginia (USA) to support long-term translation efforts.

Global Asias Initiative | PSU
Global Asias Initiative | PSU
Sponsored by Penn State’s Department of Asian Studies, the Global Asias Initiative encompasses several interrelated projects that bring into relation, but not necessarily into alignment, work in Asian Studies, Asian American Studies, and Asian Diaspora Studies. Under the direction of Tina Chen, the Initiative cultivates multi-disciplinary collaboration through the work of an award-winning journal, Verge: Studies in Global Asias; the biennial Global Asias conference; and the annual Global Asias Summer Institute. Deeply transnational and transhistorical in scope, Verge is committed to generating thematic and conceptual links among the disciplines and regional/area studies formations that address Asia in a variety of particularist (national, subnational, individual) and generalist (national, regional, global) modes. The Global Asias conferences bring scholars from around the country and the world to participate in lively intellectual exchange while the Summer Institutes are designed to provide mentorship and support for junior colleagues. Collectively, these projects study Asia and its diasporas, East to West, across and around the Pacific, from a variety of humanistic perspectives—anthropology, art history, literature, history, sociology, and political science—in order to develop comparative analyses that recognize Asia’s place(s) in the development of global culture and history.

Rangjung Yeshe Institute
Rangjung Yeshe Institute
Founded by Chokyi Nyima Rinpoche as an institution of higher learning for those wishing to deepen their understanding of Buddhist philosophy and practice, Rangjung Yeshe Institute (RYI) has been conducting seminars and study programs in Nepal for more than 25 years. Since 2001, the Institute has worked in close partnership with Kathmandu University to manage the Kathmandu University Centre for Buddhist Studies at Rangjung Yeshe Institute which offers undergraduate and post-graduate degree courses in Buddhist Studies and related topics. RYI may, to a large extent, be regarded as the Buddhist equivalent of a divinity school or seminary where spiritual practice is an integral part of the daily experience and where program graduates are scholar-practitioners. RYI envisions a world in which a wide diversity of people, interested in learning about Buddhism, has easy access to a living Buddhist tradition in order to foster the qualities of wisdom and compassion for the benefit of all sentient beings. Rangjung Yeshe Institute's mission is to be a centre of higher learning, working to the highest standards, to provide both traditional and modern Buddhist education through teaching, translation, publication, research and practice. Chokyi Nyima Rinpoche and the RYI community were delighted to welcome Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche. After a short tour of RYI, Rinpoche generously shared his insight on the place of academic studies in the transmission of Dharma teachings. Following his talk, Chokyi Nyima Rinpoche also gave brief advice on Buddhist study and practice. Here is a full capture of the event.

Lotsawa House
Lotsawa House
Lotsawa House is a virtual library of translations from Tibetan, including works by Indian Buddhist masters preserved in the Tibetan language. The site began in 2004 with just a handful of translations in English, but has since grown into a large repository containing more than 3000 texts in nine different languages, including the original sources. The vast majority of texts on the site were suggested for inclusion by Tibetan lamas and expert scholars, many of whom also kindly offered their help and advice in the translation process. This collaboration between translators and native experts is modelled upon the ancient partnerships of lotsāwas and paṇḍitas, which proved so effective when the Buddhist canon was first translated into Tibetan.

디지털 인문학이란? 현대 인문학이 전문화의 함정에 빠져서 점점 더 잃어가고 있는 교육과 연구의 생기를 새로운 소통과 협업, 융합의 환경(디지털 환경)에서 부활시키려는 노력입니다. 디지털 인문학의 교육적 과제 횡단적, 융합적 지식탐구를 위해서는, 전통적인 인문학 공부의 도구였던 말과 글의 구사 능력에 더하여, 체계적인 데이터의 수집과 정리, 검증을 통해 의미있는 지식 정보를 만들어내고, 그것을 새로운 디지털 콘텐츠로 표현할 수 있는 능력-‘디지털 리터러시(Digital Literacy)’의 훈련이 필요합니다. 디지털 인문학 연구소는 미래의 한국 문화를 이끌어 갈 인문학도들에게 디지털 리터러시의 역량을 강화하는 교육 환경을 제공하며, 이 토대 위에서 소통·협업·융합의 방법으로 심층적인 지식 탐구와 지식의 확산을 추구하는 디지털 기반 인문학 연구 프로젝트를 수행합니다.
